The week of February 28th- March 3rd is Parent Engagement Week at GWA. During this week, parents can engage with their children at school in a couple of ways.
On Tuesday, March 22nd, GWA Elemenatry School will be holding Student Led Conferences. This is not a regular school day, as students will only be coming to school with their parents for their conference. More information will be sent out soon on how to sign up for a conference time. Please save this date on your calendar.
On Sunday, February 21st, we will start tuning into our new unit of inquiry, "Minibeasts". This unit comes under the transdisciplinary theme of "How We Share the Planet". The central idea behind this unit is: “Minibeasts play a role in our world”. We will be focusing on the following lines of inquiry: 1) Types of minibeasts; 2) The role of minibeasts in our world; and 3) How humans and minibeasts interact. Please have a look at the parent letter and curriculum map for more information on this unit.
